Against the dearth of academic resources on Malaysian trans men, this ground-breaking monograph is rooted in the lived experiences of Malaysian trans men whose vicissitudes have mostly been hidden, silenced and overlooked. Comprising diverse age groups, ethnicities, socio-economic status, educational backgrounds and religious persuasions, these trans men reveal how they navigate life in a country with secular and religious laws that criminalise their embodiments, and the strategies they deploy to achieve self-determination and self-actualisation despite being perceived as aberrant and sinful. This book demonstrates how negotiations with constitutive elements such as gender identity, social interaction, citizenship, legality, bodily struggle, medical transitioning and personal spiritual validation condition the becomings of Malaysian trans men.Gender, Sexualities and Culture in Asia,2662-7884SociologySex (Psychology)Gender expressionEthnologyHuman rightsReligion and sociologyGender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20090Social Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12030Human Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19020Sociology of Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22210Sociology.Sex (Psychology).Gender expression.Ethnology.Human rights.Religion and sociology.Gender Studies.Gender Studies.Social Anthropology.Human Rights.Sociology of Religion.306.76809595Goh Joseph Nauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut888509MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910407712203321Becoming a Malaysian Trans Man2079107UNINA
